Dodd Bill KILLS Jobs, Creates Permanent Bailout

Today, Obama promoted another government takeover bill, this time the financial sector is the target. The bill is basically a sweetheart deal for the banking industry, much like how ObamaCare was a bailout for the insurance companies. The 1,408 page bill includes many provisions like the creation of a permanent and unlimited bailout authority for Wall Street and has the potential for making it difficult for small businesses to succeed.
Obama claims the bill will "put a stop to tax-payer-funded bailouts" when in reality the bill will create a permanent and unlimited bailout mechanism for the big banks and companies that are 'too big to fail'. "If you liked the bailouts in 2008, you'll love the Dodd bill," said Republican Senator David Vitter. "Congressional Democrats and the Obama Administration want to create a permanent bailout mechanism all while spouting their rhetoric of getting tough on Wall Street, but if you look at who is already lining up to support their 'reform' measure it's a who's who of the big banks that have already received the taxpayer bailout the first time."
Democrat Congressman Brad Sherman agrees: "There are serious problems with the Dodd bill. The Dodd bill has unlimited executive bailout authority. That's something Wall Street desperately wants but doesn't dare ask for."

The rhetoric by Obama today is just another example of how he slaps the hands of Wall Street to only make sure they prosper on tax-payer-funded bailouts by giving them complete authority. Not only that, but this bill will break the back of small business by placing restrictions on venture capital investing making it harder for small startup businesses to succeed.
Here are a few quotes from a Venture Beat article:
"First, Dodd's bill would require startups raising funding to register with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and then wait 120 days for the SEC to review their filing. A second provision raises the wealth requirements for an "accredited investor" who can invest in startups – if the bill passes, investors would need assets of more than $2.3 million (up from $1 million) or income of more than $450,000 (up from $250,000). The third restriction removes the federal pre-emption allowing angel and venture financing in the United States to follow federal regulations, rather than face different rules between states."
"Obviously, I'm deeply concerned about Senator Dodd's proposal to place these restrictions on angel investing. I think angel investing is undeniably one of the largest engines for job creation as well as innovation and competitiveness on the global scale for the United States. There's no doubt about it that the restrictions that he's proposing would absolutely chill investing.
"Specifically, one of the things we need to take into account is while 10 years ago it may have taken years to build a company, companies are now built in a matter of weeks. So this 120-day waiting period is frankly ridiculous. I have companies with tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of users that are built in a matter of weeks. They're generating actual dollars of revenue, creating jobs, investing in real estate office space, capital equipment, etc. If they had to wait 120 days to actually apply for the ability to obtain financing it would absolutely just crush that market."
Obama is one of the biggest puppets for Wall Street, despite all the rhetoric he uses against them. Obama's greatest allies are the big banks and most of his important constituents are wall street financiers. In 2008, Obama's campaign was mostly funded by Wall Street, banks like AIG, JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs all played a major financial role for his presidency taking in $15 million from securities and investment firms, $3 million from commercial banks, and $6 million from other financial institutions.
Obama and the Democrats in Congress will try to rush this bill in before the American people have the chance to find out what's in it. Just like ObamaCare, they will use non-transparent and secretive tactics to make sure it becomes law. The bill is likely to hit the floor of the Senate as early as next week.

Gold and Silver Prices Manipulated by JPMorgan Chase

Goldman Sachs Whistleblower Exposes Gold and Silver Price Manipulation by JPMorgan Chase
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ugQO0k-10k
For a long time many of us have had very serious suspicions that the prices of gold and silver were being highly manipulated. But now, thanks to the mind blowing testimony of one very brave whistle blower, the blatant manipulation of the world gold and silver markets is being blown wide open. What you are about to read below is absolutely staggering. Once the American people learn how incredibly corrupt the world financial system is, it is going to change everything. The government that we are all trusting to guard the integrity of the financial system is failing to do that job. It turns out that the Commodities Futures Trading Commission has been sitting on solid evidence that the elite banking powers have been openly and blatantly manipulating the price of gold and silver. Even though they were basically handed a "smoking gun", they have done absolutely nothing with it. But now the information has gone public and the CFTC is red-faced.
Back in November 2009, Andrew Maguire, a former Goldman Sachs silver trader in Goldman's London office, contacted the CFTC's Enforcement Division and reported the illegal manipulation of the silver market by traders at JPMorgan Chase.
Maguire told the CFTC how silver traders at JPMorgan Chase openly bragged about their exploits – including how they sent a signal to the market in advance so that other traders could make a profit during price suppression episodes.
Traders would recognize these signals and would make money shorting precious metals alongside JPMorgan Chase. Maguire explained to the CFTC how there would routinely be market manipulations at the time of option expiries, during non-farm payroll data releases, during commodities exchange contract rollovers, as well as at other times if it was deemed necessary.
On February 3rd, Maguire gave the CFTC a two day warning of a market manipulation event by email to Eliud Ramirez, who is a senior investigator for the CFTC's Enforcement Division.
Maguire warned Ramirez that the price of precious metals would be suppressed upon the release of non-farm payroll data on February 5th. As the manipulation of the precious metals markets was unfolding on February 5th, Maguire sent additional emails to Ramirez explaining exactly what was going on.
And it wasn't just that Maguire predicted that the price would be forced down. It was the level of precision that he was able to communicate to the CFTC that was the most stunning. He warned the CFTC that the price of silver was to be taken down regardless of what happened to the employment numbers and that the price of silver would end up below $15 per ounce. Over the next couple of days, the price of silver was indeed taken down from $16.17 per ounce down to a low of $14.62 per ounce.
Because of Maguire's warning, the CFTC was able to watch a crime unfold, right in front of their eyes, in real time.
So what did the CFTC do about it?
Absolutely nothing.
Which is extremely alarming, because the size of this fraud absolutely dwarfs the Madoff or Enron scandals. In fact, this fraud is so gigantic that it is not even worth comparing to any of the other major financial scandals of recent times.
But Maguire did not give up. He sent several more emails to the CFTC detailing the open manipulation of the gold and silver markets.
The CFTC did not reply.
Finally he sent them a final email: "I have honored my commitment to assist you and keep any information we discuss private, however if you are going to ignore my information I will deem that commitment to have expired."
The reply by the CFTC?
"I have received and reviewed your email communications. Thank you so very much for your observations."
No action.
No acknowledgement that anything was wrong.
No recognition that a massive crime had been committed.
Fortunately, that was not the end of it.
On March 25th, the CFTC held a hearing on alleged manipulation in the gold market by the major banking powers.
Maguire wanted to testify during that hearing but he was not invited.
But William Murphy, chairman of Gold Anti-Trust Action (GATA), was invited to testify. GATA has been compiling data on the manipulation of the gold and silver markets for quite a long time now.
Murphy was only given five minutes to deliver his testimony. He raced through his presentation so that he could get as much information on the record as possible.
Very curiously, the live television broadcast of the CFTC hearing suffered a technical failure the minute before Murphy began his testimony. The technical failure was corrected the minute after Murphy was finished.
Well, it turns out that there were are lot of coincidences surrounding this hearing.
But we'll get to that in a minute.
When Murphy finished his statement, the panel asked him for some hard proof of market manipulation. Murphy shocked the panel by revealing the name of Maguire and explaining how Maguire had informed the CFTC Enforcement Division of the market manipulation that was taking place by JPMorgan Chase. The CFTC panel seemed stunned by the revelation and seemed reluctant to learn any further and asked nothing else about it.
Video of Murphy's revelation to the panel is posted below….
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9bU0r6JP4s
In another "coincidence", Maguire and his wife were subsequently injured and hospitalized when their car was struck by a hit-and-run driver in the London suburbs.
When a bystander who saw the "accident" tried to block the other driver from getting away, the other driver accelerated directly towards the witness, forcing him to leap out of the way to avoid being hit. The hit-and-run driver's car then hit two additional cars as he left the area.
But Maguire and his wife were fortunate.
In the past, other would-be whistle blowers that had evidence regarding the manipulation in the gold and silver markets died in "unusual accidents" before they were able to bring their evidence to light.
But there were even more "coincidences" surrounding this hearing.
A week before the hearing, the CFTC announced that they had had a fire in the room where its gold and silver records are held.
Isn't that convenient?
In addition, after the hearing was over, Murphy was contacted by a number of major media outlets for interviews.
Within 24 hours, every single interview was cancelled.
Every single one.
Is that a coincidence too?
It appears that some very powerful people do not want this information to get out.
It also shows how corrupt the mainstream media has become.
This is a story that is so much bigger than the Madoff scandal or the Enron scandal that it is not even funny.
And yet the mainstream media is avoiding it like the plague.
But there were additional bombshells that came out during the hearing as well.
During the hearing it was revealed that the gold manipulators have accumulated a huge short position in gold and that these huge short positions are "naked", which means that these positions are not hedged.
These massive short positions have put some of the largest financial institutions in the world in an extremely vulnerable position.
In addition, it has now come out that most "gold" that is traded is not backed by the actual metal itself. For years, most people have assumed that the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA), the world's largest gold market, had actual gold to back up the massive "gold deposits" at the major LBMA banks.
But that is not the case.
People are now realizing that there is very little actual gold in the LBMA system.
When people think they are buying "gold", they are actually just buying pieces of paper that say they own gold.
In fact, during the CFTC hearings, Jeffrey Christian of CPM Group confirmed that the LBMA banks actually have approximately a hundred times more gold deposits than actual gold bullion.
So what happens if everyone decides that they want actual physical delivery of their gold?
It would be such a mess that it is painful even to think about it.
The truth is that right now most of the trading activities on the London exchange are just paper for paper.
But people get into gold because they want to be in a real commodity.
In fact, there are thousands of clients around the globe who think they own huge deposits of gold bullion, and are being charged large storage fees on that imaginary bullion, but what they really own are a bunch of pieces of paper.
If there comes a time when everyone starts asking for their gold it is going to create a squeeze of unimaginable proportions.
Maguire explains this situation this way: "for 100 customers who show up there is only one guy who is going to get his gold or silver and there's 99 who will be disappointed, so without any new money coming into the market, just asking for that gold and silver will create a default."
The truth is that it is absolutely impossible for the LBMA to ever deliver all the gold and silver owed to the owners of contracts.
Yes, it is a gigantic mess.
But this type of things is not entirely unprecedented. For example, Morgan Stanley paid out several million dollars back in 2007 to settle claims that it had charged 22,000 clients storage fees on silver bullion that did not exist.
But the scale of the fraud going on now is absolutely mind blowing. The following video contains footage from the hearing related to these issues….
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jok3XLBz_SI
So what is the bottom line?
The bottom line is that the precious metals markets are cesspools of fraud and manipulation.
The markets have been suppressed by the major financial institutions for years, and this has created the potential for a "squeeze" in the precious metals markets that could send the prices of gold and silver into the stratosphere.
You see, the reality is that there would be no gold left in the entire world if all the Gold ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds) asked for physical delivery.
Are you starting to get the picture?
In fact, Maguire claims that the naked short selling scam by the major financial institutions is well into the trillions of dollars, making it by far the biggest financial fraud in history.
Maguire calls what has been going on "financial terrorism", and he accuses the financial institutions involved in this fraud of "treason" for putting national security at risk.
And national security is at risk.
Because if the true extent of this fraud comes out, it could collapse the entire financial system.
If you have never heard an interview with Andrew Maguire, we encourage you to listen to the audio interview posted below. It will really open your eyes to what is going on in the precious metals markets….
The Century's Biggest Fraud Revealed
This is one of the biggest financial stories of the decade. Because it is complex, most Americans will not understand it. But the fraud and manipulation in the gold and silver markets has the potential to cause a massive economic collapse even without all of the other factors talked about on this blog.
Some very powerful people have been doing some really, really bad things. Once people understand the truth, they will never look at the financial markets the same way again. Already, faith in the major financial institutions of this country has been shaken by revelations about what has been going on over at Goldman Sachs. The American people have no more appetite for any more financial scandals or for any more Wall Street bailouts. But if the fraud and manipulation taking place in the precious metal markets ever gets totally exposed it will change the U.S. financial system forever.
Please get this information out to as many people as you can. There are a number of very powerful people who are not going to be pleased that sites like this are attempting to get the truth about this massive scandal out.

JPMorgan Instructs Homeowners To Stop Making Payments Then Takes Their Homes
JPMorgan Chase instructed homeowners to stop making mortgage payments, as that was the only way to be considered for a loan modification, then repossessed their house when they followed the bank's advice, a couple claims in Federal Court. "I've seen this happen to so many people," their attorney said. "When they come in here to tell me their story, I can actually tell it to them."
Faiz and Khadua Jahani sued Morgan Chase and its predecessor, Washington Mutual Bank, on their own behalf and on behalf of the public.
"When they called the 800 number, they were specifically told that as long as they were current on their mortgage they wouldn't even be considered for a loan modification," the couple's attorney, Piotr Reysner, said in an interview.
In their federal complaint, the Jahanis say they contacted the bank in December 2008 "to indicate that they were having trouble paying their mortgage and would like to discuss a possible loan modification."
The Jahanis say the bank representative told them "that they would not work with plaintiffs at all because they were currently not in breach of their loan terms. Plaintiffs were specifically advised at that time to stop making payments for a period of three months, at which time defendants would consider a loan modification. Plaintiffs were specifically informed that as long as they were current on their mortgage payments, that defendants would not consider a loan modification.
"Reasonably relying on the direction of defendants, plaintiffs stopped making their loan payments. Plaintiffs are informed and believe and thereon allege that defendants immediately reported to the various credit reporting agencies (Equifax, Experian and TransUnion) that plaintiffs were late on their mortgage payments.
"On or about June 23, 2009, defendants sent a letter to plaintiff entitled 'Notice of Intent to Foreclose,' indicating that plaintiffs were past due in their mortgage in the amount of $100.65 and that plaintiffs need to bring the account current within 30 days to avoid foreclosure proceedings. No Notice of Default accompanied the letter, nor was any Notice of Default ever served on plaintiffs."
Months of correspondence between the Jahanis and Chase followed, with the Jahanis repeatedly sending Chase documents it had requested, and Chase repeatedly sending them letters claiming it had not received proper documentation and that their loan modification was "in jeopardy."

NoWorldSystem
"Nothing, in this world, works the way you think it does." -Jordan Maxwell
Child sacrifice, trauma-based mind control, what do they have in common? They are both used by the largest cult in the world; the Illuminati.
The Illuminati is a cult created by Adam Weishavpt on May 1, 1776. It is a culmination of secret societies that strive to create a global government called a 'New World Order', where the United Nations is the framework for the birth of global institutions (ex: WHO, IMF).
The main agenda of the Illuminati is to completely control all governments, religious and financial institutions of the world. Unfortunately they have succeeded in that effort, they have total dominance over the United States (the seal of the Illuminati is on the back of the one-dollar bill), Russia, the European Union and even the Vatican.
They stage military coups against opposing government, install agents and create a puppet-government so that they become in favor of a New World Order. They have infiltrated the mainstream media, all forms of entertainment and even public schools. We all live in this scientific dictatorship that many aren't aware of, the public is in a trance, our beliefs and opinions are constantly being shaped so that we are in favor of the agenda. One example is Global Warming, promoting the idea that Co2 is a deadly pollutant that should be taxed on a global scale and that a One World Government is needed to solve this problem.
We live in a world were one family bloodline is in control of this New World Order, the bloodline is called the Merovingian bloodline that dates back to the Priory of Sion, the group was sworn to protect the bloodline that now exists in the European monarchy. Many think that all U.S. presidents are elected 'by the people', the reality is all 45 U.S. presidents including Obama are the heirs of the Merovingian bloodline. For example, Obama and George W. Bush are 11th cousins and Queen Elizabeth and George W. Bush are 13th cousins.
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5851235025428110185&hl=en#
Many still believe that this country won its independence from the British in 1776, the reality this country has always belonged to the British monarchy, stolen from the Native Americans. The 'United States' technically means a 'Federal Corporation' of the British crown, and the citizens are nothing more than indentured servants to Europe. The Private Bank called the U.S. Federal Reserve (the system that is now collapsing the U.S. economy through devaluation) is part owned by the Bank of England. Many wonder why big banks like Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan get taxpayer-funded bailouts, well it's because they are too part owners of the U.S. Federal Reserve, private corporation.
To the elite, humans are all considered slaves that bear no 'inheritable blood' and they believe every aspect of human life should be regulated and taxed for the benefit of the elite. They believe that the human lifespan should be cut down by introducing toxic chemicals into our lives, they also believe they should "maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature" according what is written on the Georgia Guidestones.
We are saturated in a mirth of television, drugs and entertainment for this reason, to keep the population away from the truth of what is being perpetuated against us.
Trauma-Based Mind Control
One of the ways the Illuminati influences the masses is by trauma-based mind control, by creating physical and mental pain on a victim so that they become groomed over time for leadership positions. Many whistleblowers for this reason have come out of the dark to reveal these secrets. Trauma-based mind control is used to create Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), a condition in which a person displays multiple personalities that a mind control programmer is able to manipulate.
Svali (a pseudonym for obvious reasons) explains it best, she is an ex-Illuminati mind control programmer who was born into 'the family', she wrote an excellent book called Breaking the Chain – Breaking Free Of Cult Programming that exposes the nature of the cult in great detail.
Intentional programming of an infant in the Illuminati often begins before birth. Prenatal splitting is well known in the cult, as the fetus is very capable of fragmenting in the womb due to trauma. This is usually done between the seventh and ninth month of pregnancy. Techniques used include: placing headphones on the mother's abdomen, and playing loud, discordant music (such as some modern classical pieces, or even Wagner's operas). Loud, heavy rock has also been used. Other methods include having the mother ingest quantities of bitter substances, to make the amniotic fluid bitter, or yelling at the fetus inside the womb. The mother's abdomen may be hit as well. Mild shock to the abdomen may be applied, especially when term is near, and may be used to cause premature labor, or ensure that the infant is born on a ceremonial holiday. Certain labor inducing drugs may be also given if a certain birth date is desired.
Once the infant is born, testing is begun at a very early age, usually during the first few weeks of life. The trainers, who are taught to look for certain qualities in the infant, will place it on a velvet cloth on a table, and check its reflexes to different stimuli. The infant's strength, how it reacts to heat, cold, and pain are all tested. Different infants react differently, and the trainers are looking for dissociative ability, quick reflexes, and reaction times. They are also encouraging early dissociation in the infant with these tests.
The infant will also be abused, to create fragments. Methods of abuse can include: rectal probes; digital anal rape; electric shocks at low levels to the fingers, toes, and genitalia; cutting the genitalia in ritual circumstances (in older infants). The intent is to begin fragmentation before a true ego state develops, and customize the infant to pain and reflexive dissociation from pain (yes, even tiny infants dissociate; I have seen it time and time again; they will glow blank and limp, or glassy, in the face of continued trauma.)
Isolation and abandonment programming will sometimes be begun as well, in a rudimentary sense. The infant is abandoned, or uncared for by adults, intentionally during the daytime, then picked up, soothed, cleaned up and paid attention to in the context of preparing for a ritual or group gathering. This is done in order to help the infant associate night gatherings with "love" and attention, and to help the bonding process to the cult, or "family". The infant will be taught to associate maternal attention with going to rituals, and eventually will associate cult gatherings with feelings of security.
As the infant grows older, i.e. at 15 to 18 months, more fragmenting is intentionally done by having the parents as well as cult members abuse the infant more methodically. This is done by intermittently soothing, bonding with the infant, then shocking it on its digits; the infant may be dropped from heights to a mat or mattress and laughed at as it lays there startled and terrified, crying. It may be placed in cages for periods of time, or exposed to short periods of isolation. Deprivation of food, water, and basic needs may begin later in this stage. All of these methods are done in order to create intentional dissociation in the infant.
In this interview, Svali explains a more public technique of trauma-based programming by child sacrifice carried out during an induction ceremony at the Vatican.:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQJyPkSjuZE
Public trauma-based mind control has been used constantly against us, for example, 9/11. Many people were so traumatized from the events of September 11th that they would have believed anything the U.S. government had put out based on fear alone. Like torture, terrorism is used to intimidate or coerce subject(s) into behaving and thinking a certain way so that the person(s) remain obedient and do what they are told. 9/11 was the mega-ritual that has accomplished many goals including the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan because we were constantly told that the terrorists will hit us again if we didn't do something about it.
"Fear is a strong basis for mind control, whether it's the kind of mind control that is the mass-mind control over a whole society or if it's the kind of absolute robotic mind control that I experienced under MK-ULTRA on a U.S. Pentagon level." -Cathy O'Brien
Cathy O'Brien is also a victim of mind control (was not born into 'the family'), she tells her story how she was sold by a sexually abusive father to the military industrial complex; "A local politician that was sanctioning this child pornography ring was associated with my grandfather's blue masonic lodge, when this one particular politician came to my father and told him he can receive immunity from prosecution if he would sell me into MK-ULTRA mind control. My father was thrilled, he agreed to sell me into the project and was trained in how to raise me for MK-ULTRA."

SEC Orders AIG Info Sealed Until November… 2018!
Good news. It looks as though we'll be getting access to secret data on the bailout of AIG and its counterparties.
The bad news: We're going to have to wait until November of 2018, according to Matthew Goldstein at Reuters.
In May, the SEC approved a request by AIG to keep secret an exhibit to a year-old regulatory filing that includes some of the details on the most controversial aspect of the AIG bailout: the funneling of tens of billions of dollars to big banks like Societe Generale, Goldman Sachs (GS.N), Deutsche Bank (DBKGn.DE) and Merrill Lynch.
The SEC's Division of Corporation Finance, in granting AIG's request for confidential treatment, said the "excluded information" will not be made public until Nov. 25, 2018, according to a copy of the agency's May 22 order.
The SEC said the insurer had demonstrated the information in the exhibit, called Schedule A, "qualifies as confidential commercial or financial information." More
By then, Wall Street will have significantly recycled many people (and probably some more firms) and perhaps the American public just won't care about how Tim Geithner helped bail out a gigantic black hole of a firm, upon which so many ostensibly rock solid firms had their foundation.

Masha Gessen's Perfect Rigor: A Genius and the Mathematical Breakthrough of the Century (2009) is the story of Russian mathematician Grigory Perelman and his quest to solve the Poincaré Conjecture, a problem that eluded the most brilliant minds in the field for nearly a century. She describes his rise to mathematical brilliance, his genius, his perfection, his habits, his idiosyncrasies, and most bizarrely, his self-induced seclusion from the world after solving the Poincaré.
Very carefully, Gessen notes that the book is not a biography "in the usual sense," for she did not―and could not―interview Perelman. His isolation prevented such a meeting from happening. Instead, the book uses the testimonies of Perelman's few friends and associates.
A highly insightful and lively written account, Perfect Rigor the investigation of a man who chooses to avoid public exposure at all costs. He declined two very prestigious prizes: the Fields Medal, which is considered the equivalent of a Nobel in mathematics (there is no Nobel prize in mathematics); and the Millennium Prize, an even greater disctinction, which offers one million dollars for the first rigorous solution to any of seven Millennium Problems, one of them being the Poincaré―Perelman was well aware of, but deliberately failed to meet, the eligibility requirements for this prize.
Gessen prefaces with an introduction to the Millennium Prize, and then begins with mathematical and Soviet history. No advanced knowledge of mathematics is required to read this book, but a bit of familiarity with topology can certainly enhance the read. In fact, the opening chapters are of more use to a historian than to a mathematician; a brilliant account of the specific social and political conditions that led to Perelman's rise (and later seclusion) is given.
The book then picks up on Perelman, his mother, and his math coaches and teachers. As a child, Perelman excelled at math, and was always ahead of his classmates. In 1982 he won the gold medal at the International Mathematics Olympiad, an international math competition for high school students, by earning a perfect score.
Perelman was no ordinary mathematician―he was a genius. There was no math problem that he could not solve. But he had (and has) a very peculiar and rigorous value system. What is right to him is obviously right to him, yet no one else seems to understand what he considers right. When he published the solution to the Poincaré in 2002, he did not do so in a refereed math journal; in fact, he posted his solution on the Internet and available to the public. Because of this, he was ineligible, and intentionally so, for the million-dollar Millennium Prize.
He dedicated literally his entire life to mathematics, and spent almost a decade working on the problem. His contribution back to mathematics community was solving a problem that no one else could solve. In his Olympiad days, he would solve a problem, submit it, and have his answer acknowledged as correct. But now, the one community he trusted―the mathematics community, for he mostly avoided talking to anyone else―was telling him that his solution was ineligible for recognition. The mathematicians who did support him verified the solution, but still, no Millennium Prize was announced. He did not care about the money; rather, he was shocked that the people whom he trusted most were now refusing to acknowledge him in the greatest mathematical achievement of the century.
In 2006 the mathematics community tried to make up for this by awarding Perelman the Fields Medal. To any other mathematician, it would have been the greatest achievement, but to Perelman, it was almost an insult―the reason for his award was carefully worded as to avoid the statement that Perelman had solved the Poincaré; he was merely congratulated "for his contributions to geometry and his revolutionary insights into the analytical and geometric structure of the Ricci flow." In his mind, and the minds of most mathematicians, he solved the Poincaré Conjecture. He declined the Fields Medal.
In all, Perelman's story is a complex one, filled with brilliance, genius, luck, tension. Gessen's account portrays clearly the life of a man totally estranged from the world, and at this point, even from the mathematics community. It delves into the historical elements that affected Perelman and the ways people seldomly interacted with him, but more importantly, it explores how his environment shaped his mind, and how he used it―how he solved problems perfectly―and how he formed a rigorous idea of correctness in his mind, a set of rules that only he could understand. Perfect Rigor is a perfect read.

Realities of the Nigerian Economy and How they Affect the Civil Servants More
July 14, 2021 July 14, 2021 - by Olusegun Peters
By: PETERS Olusegun Email:official@theolusegunpeters.com
I was listening to a very old song from a late Nigerian musician, in the song he talks about how the economy is hard and the government is making life difficult for the people by mismanaging resources; this is a song from the 1970's. This song made me think of the so many Nigerian songs I have heard that talk about how the economy is bad and the government is not making it easier. All these songs about the bad economy and bad governance spread to every Nigerian era except the eras before independence and the eras in the early years of independence. Till this day, we can still point at songs that talk about bad economy and bad governance. The implication of this is that everything happening in Nigeria at this time did not start now, it's been here since like three eras ego; the songs people of each of these eras were listening to show that this problem had been around and they were aware of it. So thinking Nigeria just got bad would be a wrong thing to think; it's been bad it only got worse as time went by till we got here that we are now. This is to point out that the cause of the problems we are having now is not this administration, the foundation had been laid by the previous administrations and regimes, this administration is just really committed to building on the failures of the pasts, and it's all coming together to ruin the economy even more and more.
Although most Nigerians, the civil servants especially, don't notice that this administration has made them poorer, and that is because they see their incomes as paid to them, not in comparison with foreign exchange; a person who was earning the #18,000 minimum wage in 2013 and a person who is earning the #30,000 minimum wage in 2021 compared, the latter was earning more if the two is converted to Dollars then and now. Not only that, the rate of inflation then and now compared, the person earning #18,000 then was spending lesser of their income on equal needs compared to what the person earning #30,000 spends now. What I'm saying is, consumptions kept the same, if #18,000 was enough to take care of your feeding for a month in 2013, #30,000 cannot take care of it in 2021, as everything has increased in price by at least 80%. The implication of this for any Nigerian is that you would have to increase your income somehow (by working harder for instance) or you cut your expenses (by reducing your consumptions for instance) so your #30,000 would sustain you through the month. Whichever way, it tells on your living standard and the life expectancy. For a civil servant who wants to increase their income, they would have to take more jobs, have side businesses, or enter corruption at their place of work; this explains why we have so many civil servants having small businesses everywhere, and why they now ask for money before they can do anything at their office. Also, thank goodness for Cryptocurrencies, a lot of them now have digital monies that have helped them increase their income somehow. But we should not forget the part where everything boils down to making them corrupt or reducing their life expectancy.
Before now, I used to think, how the government wants us to think, that the people at the bottom of the pyramid are the ones building the Nigerian economy and sustaining it, but looking at it deeply, looking at the laws in Nigeria at the federal and state levels, looking at the taxes and so on, I have realized the people in the middle of the pyramid are the ones baring the weight of the economy, not the people beneath the pyramid at all, and definitely not the few at the top of the pyramid—these ones are just there to exploit the ones in the middle and oppress them to make sure they don't come up (the policies they make, the laws they make, they activities are mostly for these purposes). The people at the bottom of the pyramid, they are the Nigerians doing the menial jobs, the Nigerians who are mostly living on $1 per day on the average; they have no house they pay taxes on, they have no electricity bills they pay, they have almost nothing going to the government's purse through them except that they are exploited too by the people in the middle of the pyramid via cheap labour, and except for the indirect taxes they pay on the foods they eat, cloths they wear and so on. So the government or the elites cannot really exploit them. Even as this administration is committed to taking foreign loans the next generations would pay for via taxes and high cost of everything, these people at the bottom of the pyramid cannot be affected so much. The people that would pay back the debts and suffer the bad economic policies this administration has been making are the civil servants and the small scale business people. This is in fact the wrong time to be a civil servant or a small scale business person in Nigeria, as you would be the one who suffers the most all the wickedness and unsmart moves of the government. To chip this in, the policies and laws that would be made in the next few years would make it obvious the elites and government need Nigeria to be a very autocratic and closed state, this is to allow the government and elites be able to exploit, oppress and ruin the freedom of the people more.

Yesterday the 2013 World Youth concluded in Al Ain, in the U.A.E. with the participation of 1773 players from 171 federations. The Israeli delegation which took part in the event consisted of 5 players and several accompanying persons.
During the event there were several publications and petitions from several institutes and individuals about the fact that the flags of Israel were removed from the relevant tables in the tournament and from the official web as well and replaced by flags of FIDE. We would like to state very clearly that this move was done as a result of our security people's request and with full cooperation with the local organizers. While we believe that participation of Israeli players in events held in Arabic countries, and vice versa of course, with Israeli flags is very positive and contributing to a good atmosphere, we all realize that such events need security solutions and strict cooperation about.
We cordially appreciate all those who were standing on our rights in what looked like a breach of it but we stress again - this was not a decision or initiative of the U.A.E. authorities but ours and we would like to thank the organizers and FIDE events commission for their cooperation and for the excellent treatment our delegation was met.


Abkhazia's Sergei Bagapsh is under fire again.
For over a year, the Abkhaz opposition has repeatedly criticized de facto President Sergei Bagapsh for what it considers excessive and unwarranted concessions to Russia.
In particular Bagapsh's defeated rival in two successive presidential elections, Raul Khajimba, has sought to depict Bagapsh as selling out Abkhaz national interests. On the eve of the second anniversary (August 26) of Abkhazia's recognition by Russia as an independent state, the independent weekly "Nuzhnaya gazeta" has published in two consecutive issues materials intended to force Bagapsh to confront Moscow.
The first of those articles was published on August 17 under a pseudonym. It summarizes a draft agreement, purportedly drafted jointly by an Abkhaz-Russian commission, possibly with input from Georgia, that would permit Russian citizens to reclaim their abandoned homes in Abkhazia. The author argues that, if signed, the agreement would pave the way for the return to Abkhazia of thousands of Georgians who fled to the Russian Federation during the 1992-93 war and subsequently acquired Russian citizenship.
He suggests that Georgia may be pushing for the signing of the agreement, which would empower those Georgians to reclaim their homes, in return for signing a formal agreement with Abkhazia abjuring the use of force. To date, Tbilisi has steadfastly refused to sign such agreements with Abkhazia and South Ossetia.
Then on August 24, according to Caucasus Press, "Nuzhnaya gazeta" published an appeal to Bagapsh by members of the Aruaa union of veterans of the 1992-93 war to secure the extradition from Moscow to Abkhazia to stand trial for war crimes of those Georgian politicians -- specifically National Guard commander Tengiz Kitovani -- responsible for the 1992 incursion by Georgian forces on to Abkhaz territory that precipitated the war.
It was Aruaa and Khajimba's Forum of National Unity of Abkhazia (FNEA) that in May 2009 launched the first salvo in the ongoing criticism of Bagapsh's imputed concessionary policy toward Russia.
Khajimba also played a key role in the campaign one year ago that forced the annulment of amendments to Abkhazia's law on citizenship that would have permitted some Georgians who have returned to Abkhazia's southernmost Gali district to acquire Abkhaz passports. Khajimba and other opposition politicians construed those amendments as a bid by Bagapsh to enlist the support of Georgian voters in his bid for reelection for a second term.
In an August 20 interview with the official Abkhaz news agency ApsnyPress, Prime Minister Sergei Shamba lambasted the August 17 "Nuzhnaya gazeta" article as slanderous and muddled. He said that he was not aware of the existence of the draft agreement prior to the publication of the "Nuzhnaya gazeta" article, but has since been assured by the presidential administration that Bagapsh has rejected it. Shamba added that although the draft was received from the Russian Foreign Ministry, it was not clear who was behind it.
Three days later, Shamba convened a press conference in Sukhumi at which he explained that the Abkhaz leadership was not averse to considering individual property claims by Russian citizens, and that the Abkhaz prosecutor's office and Supreme Court was already engaged in doing so. But he went on to recall that after the war, many Abkhaz whose homes had been destroyed during the fighting spontaneously took possession of houses or apartments vacated by Russians and Georgians who had fled.
Shamba further argued that the 1992-93 war was precipitated by the Georgian leadership, and the Georgians who fled Abkhazia as a result should "be integrated where they live now, in Georgia." He argued that allowing them to return en masse would create such tensions that a new war would be inevitable.
According to the 2003 census, the population of Abkhazia is 215,272 people. The largest ethnic group were the Abkhazians (94,606 people, 44 percent), followed by the Georgians (45,956 people, 21.3 percent) and Armenians (44,870, 20.8 percent). The return of 50,000-60,000 Georgians would make the Georgians the largest ethnic group, something the Abkhaz are determined to avoid at all costs.
The Russian daily "Kommersant" on August 25 quoted an unnamed Russian Foreign Ministry official as suggesting that both Shamba and the author of the first "Nuzhnaya gazeta" article might have implicitly exaggerated the number of Georgians now living in the Russian Federation as full-fledged Russian citizens who might take advantage of the hypothetical draft agreement to return to Abkhazia and lay claim to their abandoned property there.
That Russian official suggested that someone within the Abkhaz government simply had a vested interest in quashing any legal claims on property formerly owned by Russians that has since been lucratively privatized.
At his August 24 press conference, Shamba stressed that "we do not want issues concerning Georgian refugees to cast a shadow on our friendly relations with the Russian Federation."
Shamba divulged that the controversial draft document was sent by the Russian Foreign Ministry to its Abkhaz counterpart, which in turn passed it to the presidential administration. Assuming that Shamba's claim not to have been aware of the existence of that document before "Nuzhnaya gazeta" drew attention to it is true, it is logical to assume that a copy was surreptitiously leaked to "Nuzhnaya gazeta" by a senior official in either the Foreign Ministry or the presidential administration, presumably with the explicit intention of embarrassing the government.
"Kommersant" on August 25 quoted Izida Chania, the chief editor of "Nuzhnaya gazeta," as suggesting that Shamba disavowed any knowledge of the draft agreement on his own initiative, in order to avoid being compromised should Bagapsh subsequently agree to sign an amended version of it. She added that Shamba, who served as foreign minister during Bagapsh's first presidential term, enjoys the status of "a national leader" whom people trust.
In the hypothetical event that Shamba did resign, he could become Khajimba's main challenger in the 2014 presidential ballot. For the moment, however, Khajimba is the most prominent political figure in the opposition camp.
He has already called on three occasions this year -- in February and twice in May -- for the opposition to close ranks and embark on preparations for the parliamentary elections due in March 2012.
Speaking on May 12 at a congress of the FNEA that elected him its chairman, Khajimba lambasted the government for its inability to consolidate society, pursue a rational cadre policy, or implement badly needed reforms, and for its dubious economic policies. www.kavkaz-uzel.ru/articles/168754 He also demanded opposition access to the state-controlled media.
Just one week earlier, 24 opposition figures including Khadjimba had addressed an open letter to Bagapsh, Shamba, and parliament speaker Nugzar Shamba demanding that state TV and radio launch regular weekly discussion programs to which opposition politicians and independent journalists would be invited, and that the independent TV channel Abaza be enabled to expand its broadcast reach. Owned by Economic Development of Abkhazia Party Chairman Beslan Butba, who like Khajimba ran unsuccessfully against Bagapsh in the December 2009 presidential ballot, Abaza at present can be received only in Sukhumi.
Bagapsh responded at length to Khajimba's criticisms, first on May 25 and then in his annual address to parliament on July 7. In particular, he denied that Abkhazia was mortgaged to the hilt to Russia, stressing that the funds for the region's socioeconomic development Russia will make available between 2010-12 constitute unconditional aid, and not a loan that must be repaid. He further argued that the location of a Russian military base in Abkhazia was to the republic's benefit.
Those arguments have clearly failed to convince his opponents. Whether they will intensify their pressure on him and force a political showdown, or whether Moscow might hand over Kitovani in order to alleviate that pressure, is hard to predict at this juncture.

7 lab reports that clearly state dh has NO cancer our week has been pretty calm, still haven't had the confirmation from the doctor, but then who needs him when we have the official lab reports.
We worked on getting our container garden started this weekend. The base is constructed and the pots set. Now I just need to fill the pots. Warning a series of blog posts on this year's garden is in the works. First post is just waiting for photos before it goes up. Probably later this afternoon.
It is so nice knowing that dh is fine and we can now settle back into a life routine of gardening, blogging, crafting and travel, oh yeah, housework and chores (bleh!) too.
We did our online check in for our celebration trip and confirmed all our reservations and such. Can't wait to fly away for a long weekend.
Friday dh and I ran a few small errands for basic things like shoes, neither of us had purchased new shoes in over two years and our footwear was looking pretty bad. We both found good quality walking shoes on sale at a decent price. $50 below the budget I had set.
It is a good thing that came in under budget because I had decided to purchase a Brother PT Touch Labeler d-200 that was on sale for $20 at Staples. Of course they were out of it, and I had the electronics junkie with me so…thank goodness it was on half price sale… I came home with the D 600 for $50 instead. This sucker does everything but fly in the labeling world. Here's hoping I don't make it fly because it is too complex for me. Dh played with it some this weekend and of course downloaded a series of programs and bookmarked various websites for me to use in learning it.
I had originally wanted just a simple labeler for some organizing I am doing, but this one has where we can symbol code, label, bar code, color code up to 7 lines on various size labels. So now we are looking at starting that home inventory we have been talking about for a long time and coding everything by symbols and such. We started on that this weekend with the inch wide labels that came with it.
The first category is my Master Mixes. I am keeping those labels simple, a symbol for whether it is a dessert, or other type of mix, the recipe name, the cookbook it can be found in for its various uses and the page it is on. I came up with that format for the canning jars the various mixes are vacuum sealed in and then asked the guys to tell me what the label told them to see if it was clear. Both understood it immediately and said yes that would help them tremendously if I would label all the mixes that way. Since they are both excellent cooks I definitely want to encourage their cooking anyway I can. LOL!
I am creating simple excel files to record the info we gather as we label and sort so if we ever have a fire like my neighbor did we might at least have an idea of some of the stuff we own. Trust me this is going to be a long drawn out process with a whole lot of labels going down. But then this is something I have wanted to do for a very long time. I hate clutter and disorganization. Don't worry it won't be as bad as "Sleeping with the Enemy" but it will be much more organized around here.
If anyone is using this model and can offer helpful hints I would appreciate it. I did find out that amazon is a LOT cheaper on the label cassettes for it and ordered one each of the .5, .75 and 1 inch cassets (well the half inch one was a twin pack).
While at Staples we learned that they carry the Sodastream products there including the double sized gas canister for lower than other places we had previously priced. Then there is the added bonus of the Staples Reward card and using the store credits recycled printer cartridges to get the big canister and then later for the exchanges for it.
Royalty check hit, but it was a lot lower than it has been being. I expected it to be lower because oil and natural gas prices are down, which in turn affects my royalty checks. But we save more at the fuel station so it all works out with as much driving as we do.
I have became addicted to going to Tuesday Morning for craft supplies. I am finding things from my "I want some day" list for 75% off there and have been slowly purchasing those items as they become available. Great, now more stuff to inventory and use. LOL! Don't worry my Dave Ramsey training keeps me under my crafting budget each visit. I definitely don't want to go back into debt ever again.
On the debt front I am anxiously waiting for the next two days to pass so I can put another extra principal payment on my first mortgage. Because it is so close to the due date (tomorrow) I can't just pay that royalty check on to the principal until the auto draft for the normal monthly payment hits. Boring.
More exciting: 43 years ago today I gave birth to my beautiful daughter. Happy Birthday Samantha! Of course she won't see this here, but then I have already told her Happy Birthday today. It's just good to celebrate wherever though.
I have started looking at June's budget.
We usually get our electric/gas bill in around now so that kind of kicks it off. However 99% of the budget does not change much now. Usually we just tweak numbers for utilities and once in a blue moon we'll adjust 1-2 other categories.
Oh, I did try to set up online banking where we have our HSA. However I think I messed up because when I chose the type of account I chose checking instead of saving. I need to go back an look at that.
Good morning! The answer is yes!
you can pay online, in one of two ways. The first way is to get set up on what's called Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS.gov). You create an account there and then make payments. That is how we paid our back taxes for two years (which we paid off earlier this year, yay!) The good news is that service is free. The bad news is, you may not have enough time to get your account set up. Being the federal gov, there are certain hoops you have to jump through (getting a PIN from them, for example). It's a great system if you have to make a series of payments over time. For a single payment like yours, particularly if it's coming due soon, it might not be worth the hassle.
A second option is to go directly to the IRS.gov website, and click on the Pay Your Tax Bill which is one of the main options across the top of the page. That will take you to another IRS page which gives you a variety of both free and fee-for-service options. The fees are generally quite low, on the order of less than $5.00. You can go to that page and start to walk through some of the options and figure out which option suits you.
Sorry to hear about the car. We're finally closing in on being done with my truck's conversion away from computer emissions control (many of which were failing) back to mechanical emissions control. The estimated bill to do the conversion was between $1000 – $1500, but doing it ourselves so far it's been less than $500. The catch is that we could have been done months ago if we'd just paid someone. I've had to really bone up on my automotive electrical knowledge to tackle this project. Nice to almost be done, but there's always some price to be paid in either time, effort or cold hard cash. I hope you come up with a solution that works for you.
Yesterday I paid off my last credit card! I started Financial Peace in April 2014. I know a number of people who've done FPU. I felt convinced this had to be a better way to handle my finances. I had a bout $10,000 of debt on 3 credit cards. It took about 14 months to pay it off. It was funny when I went to the bank to pay it off and cancel it. The clerk said 'Are you sure? You're credit score will go down." I told her, it didn't matter, I was one of those crazy 'no debt' people. lol. Ready for the next step. In my case, I'm strongly considering setting aside 3-6 months of savings because I work for myself. I have 2 great clients for the next 6-9 months, but then will lose 1 of them. So I just want to anticipate that potentially slower period and sock some money away. THEN, focus fully on my student loan debt. Not to say I wouldn't make any extra payments on my student loan now, I would put the majority of my 'extra' money in savings, and a smaller amount (but still way more than the minimum) on my student loan. Relative to some people my student loan debt is pretty low, about $20,000. I'm actually excited about attacking it. I believe I can conquer it. If you're curious, I live in metro Atlanta, GA. I am a writer, primarily writing grant proposals for non-profits in the arts. I also teach yoga and do voice-overs, in particular audiobooks and webinars. I'm the single mother of a grown child (27 years old) who doesn't live with me. So, I'm in a great position to be selfish and single-minded in my goal to be debt-free.
Everyone, according to the boss, remaining are the cream of the crop and they would like to keep, but to do so everyone was going to have to take a 10% cut in pay. Because of our 6 year journey we are fine even with the new short term loan. Others in the company are freaking out.
During the meeting my guys were told there would be no layoffs in their department because basically they are what is keeping the company solvent.
Today the company rumor mill is certain ones in the company will not get a pay cut. Dh and I are hoping ds is one of those as he recently got moved up in rank at the company, without a pay raise, so it would only be fair they not cut his pay. We won't know one way or another until this time next month.
We are also thinking ahead to paying off the second, by the end of the year and THEN paying cash a new to us fifth wheel to replace our 2001 30 ft Sierra that has 2 slides.
We had decided on an amount, a size and hopefully in good condition, definitely better shape mandatory.
We have spent weeks on the web "window shopping" fifth wheels to get an idea on what we want vs what we need. We researched blue book on both our old one and ones we liked. We are talking serious research hours logged in.
Last Friday just for something to do we went physically window shopping.
Not certain if what happened is good or bad. You know how DR talks about finding older garage kept cars in mint condition for a very low price?
Apparently rvs of that type also exist, because we found one. A 2004 Keystone Montanna 36 ft, 4 slides without a blemish on it inside and out, new top of the line rv tires, full 7 year bumper to bumper warranty, absolutely gorgeous. Plus the added bonus it is has an Arctic Polar Package on it. That means it is set up for year round camping, even in extreme weather.
Two air conditioners (old one has 1 old one), a fake fireplace with blower as well as a much larger furnace than the old one has.
Similar units all over the web are $34,000 to $50,000. Way above the amount we were willing to pay, if we had the purchase money already totally saved. Plus based on the photos on the web none were in as good shape as this one. None had slide toppers either.
Just for fun we asked the price. With the toppers added (a $3000 cost). We are paying $22,000 less an above book value trade in on our Sierra. It is a wonderful unit. The bad news, was to get it we had to buy it now not January. That meant a very low interest loan for 6 months or so. Neither of us is happy about the loan, but after touring it numerous times, dh going over it mechanically with a fine tooth comb. Me checking all the domestic issues inside thoroughly. And an rv tech specialist also going over it and telling us it was one of the best condition used units he had ever seen. It is a little older than we had planned on getting, but the full warranty and aluminum instead of a wood frame make up for that. So we are going to pay off the second mortgage while making minimum payments on the trailer then pay the trailer off 2 to 3 months later.


The story behind one of rock and roll's best-known and polarizing relationships is coming to the big screen.
Variety reports an untitled film about John Lennon and Yoko Ono is moving forward. Jean-Marc Vallee of Dallas Buyers Club fame will direct. There is no release date set.
Lennon and Ono met in London in the mid-60s and married in 1969, about a year before the Beatles broke up. The couple made headlines protesting the Vietnam War by holding "bed-ins," creating the idea of "bagism," and recording "Give Peace a Chance" as the Plastic Ono Band.

This series constitutes the administrative correspondence of the BAE, and is the largest series in the collection. It is divided into twenty subseries. The first subseries, Indices and Registers of Letters Sent and Received, is arranged chronologically and then, therein, alphabetically by correspondent. These records provide the date of receipt, name of sender and a brief description of subject discussed. There is a substantial gap in these records from 1902 to 1949.
Bound copies of outgoing letters comprise the second subseries, Letterbooks. Letterbooks are arranged categorically by kind and then, therein, chronologically. Letterbooks in the "general series" include outgoing letters sent chiefly by John Wesley Powell, James C. Pilling, Garrick Mallery, H.C. Rizer, WJ McGee, Frederick W. Hodge and William Henry Holmes. Matters discussed in these letters relate to the preparation and distribution of publications issued by the BAE; formal instructions relating to staff research projects; the maintenance and reproduction of manuscripts and photographs within the BAE collection; the collection and distribution of material objects obtained on BAE field expeditions; the appointment of BAE staff and arrangements made with outside collaborators; requests for appropriations; plans of operation; summaries of expenditures; Indian legislation; laws for the preservation of antiquities; execution of the Antiquities Act; and cooperation with other government agencies. Also discussed are routine housekeeping matters such as the acquisition and return of materials borrowed from the Library of Congress and other institutions or the purchase of supplies and equipment. Lettersbooks comprising letters of "transmittal" discuss the distribution of publications, manuscripts or anthropological information. Letterbooks regarding "requisitions for printing and binding" include letters sent to the Public Printing Office. Letterbooks pertaining to "annual reports" include complete or partial reports addressed to the Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution. They differ slightly in content from those published in the BAE Annual Report series. Letters filed and bound under "library" mostly concern the borrowing or lending of library material, and the purchase of library supplies. "Editorial" letterbooks includes letters to authors, editors and printers, expressing editorial or printing concerns. Letterbooks relating to "accounts" pertain generally to BAE accounts and the conveyance of vouchers.
The letterbooks of William Henry Holmes include letters concerning his charge as Chief Officer of the BAE. Many discuss BAE accounts, plans of operation, staff changes, staff instructions and proposed federal laws for the preservation of antiquities. Others discuss the archaeological work of the BAE, especially the mound surveys carried out by the Division of Mound Explorations. They include replies to requests for information pertaining to Indian mines, quarries and caves, as well as the methods used in excavating these sites. Also included are acknowledgements for the receipt of specimens, photographs and manuscripts. The letterbook of Frank M. Barnett includes letters relating primarily to BAE accounts. Letters in Frank Hamilton Cushing's letterbooks concern, by and large, the collection of specimens in Florida for the Smithsonian Institution and the University of Pennsylvania.
The letterbooks of WJ McGee include letters relating to BAE scholarly work and the Bureau's dealings with the American Geological Society, the Columbia Historical Society, the Joint Commission of the Scientific Societies of Washington (later the Washington Academy of Science), the National Geographic Society, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the American Anthropological Association, the Washington Chapter of the Archaeological Institute of America and the International Archaeological Commission. Other letters document McGee's professional relationship with fellow ethnologists and geologists, his personal relationship with William Henry Holmes, and his role as the executor of the estate of Alexander H. and Maria Matilda Evans (parents of Matilda Coxe Stevenson). Others document his position as vice president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and his role as the American representative to the preliminary conferences responsible for forming the International Archaeological Commission. Discussed elsewhere is the preparation and distribution of McGee's own publications, his involvement in a series of public lectures hosted by the Smithsonian Institution, and his observances on the death of John Wesley Powell. Of particular interest is a letter dated July 10, 1896 concerning charges of fraud brought against Frank Hamilton Cushing and another dated November 18, 1902 describing John Wesley Powell's last years as a scholar and administrator of the BAE. McGee's letterbooks also include typescript articles, lectures and similar works. Worthy of note is an article by Matilda Coxe Stevenson relating to a Zuni Scalp ceremony (November 27, 1894). Other articles include, "Primitive Trephining Illustrated by the Munis Peruvian Collection" (January 26, 1894), "The Antiquity of Man in America" (April 13, 1894), "The Expedition to Seriland" (February 14, 1896), "The Papago Time Concept" (July 22, 1896), "A Proposed American Anthropologic Association" (June 21, 1902), "Powell as Anthropologist" (April 11, 1902) and "Progress toward an International Archaeolgic and Ethnologic Commission".
The third subseries, Letters Received 1878, relates exclusively to the work of the US Geographical and Geological Survey of the Rocky Mountain Region. The series is arranged in no particular order. The fourth subseries, Letters Received 1879-1887, is arranged alphabetically by correspondent or institution. Attached to many of these letters are official copies of BAE outgoing replies. Letters deserving special attention include Alexander Graham Bell's letter and chart pertaining to Powell's phonetic alphabet; Franz Boas' rationale and plan for publishing material relating to Northwest Coast Indians; Cushing's sketch map of ruins and caves in the vicinities of San Juan and Wingate, Arizona; Dorsey's wordlist of "Shasti or Klamath"; Gatschet's 1884 "Map of Creek Country in the Eighteenth Century: Names and Sites Restored from the Contemporaneous Documents"; Gatschet's "Affinities between Tehwa and Shoshonian Dialects"; and Cyrus Thomas' report regarding the Traona manuscript.
The fifth subseries, Letters Received 1888-1906, is arranged alphabetically by correspondent or institution. Attached to many of these letters are official copies of BAE outgoing replies. Letters deserving special mention include Dinwiddie's explanation of the fraud charges brought against Frank Hamilton Cushing; Washington Matthews' discussion of the pueblo names in Chaco Canyon; Shelley's transcription of Quanah Parker's statements regarding James Mooney; Mooney's letters concerning his Arapaho photographs; Franz Boas' list of Chinook place names; Abbe's letter concerning the origin of the term "Chinook winds"; and Ashenhurst's letter including a copy of "The Lord's Prayer in Millipama (Mith-hhlama, Tenino).
The sixth and seventh subseries, Letters Received 1907 and Letters Received 1908, are arranged alphabetically by correspondent or institution. Attached to many of these letters are official copies of BAE outgoing replies. Material largely concerns special projects being conducted by the BAE at the time, including the study of various aboriginal languages spoken throughout Indiana, Fewkes' work at Casa Grande, and Frachtenberg's work among the Tutelo. Letters regarding the preparation of various BAE publications, such as the second volume of Hodge's Handbook of American Indians North of Mexico, are also included in these subseries.
The eighth and ninth subseries, Letters Received 1909-1949 and Letters Received 1950-1965, are arranged alphabetically by correspondent or institution with the exception of those letters filed by subject or project. Letters received include requests for information regarding Native American languages, customs, relics or lands surveyed by the BAE. Inquiries were received from museum curators, geologists, military officials, professional anthropologists, students and members of the general public. The majority of outgoing letters were composed by BAE administrative staff fielding these queries; however, some were composed by members of the BAE research staff themselves. Other incoming letters concern personnel matters; research proposals; the BAE budget; the acquisition or distribution of specimens, manuscripts and photographs; legislation affecting BAE activities; and BAE publications. Also found among these letters are official reports concerning the progress of field work being carried out by BAE staff and collaborators. Noteworthy material found among Letters Received 1909-1949, include Boas' "Memorandum on the Changes of the Human Body under the Influences of American Life"; Densmore's "Native Songs of Two Hybrid Ceremonies among the American Indians"; Fenton's photographs taken while on the Tonawanda Reservation; John Peabody Harrington's photographs of his informants; Thomas M. Galey's print of the Osage Indian Non-pe-wa-the; and Kelsey's photograph of Kuanui of the Palolo Valley, Oahu, Hawaii; and the Latin American Expedition's photographs of the Tule. Material deserving special mention in Letters Received 1950-1965 is William S. Laughlin's preliminary report of the archaeological work being conducted on the Aleutian Islands during the summer of 1952; William Reeder's report on the biological investigations carried out on the Kodiak Islands; and Alice Larde de Venturino's "Astonishing Stone Inscriptions of North Chile".
The tenth and eleventh subseries, Letters Sent, Photocopies and Transcripts 1879-1902 and Letters Received, Photocopies and Transcripts 1879-1906, are arranged in no particular order. Reasons behind the duplication or transcription of these letters are unknown. The twelfth subseries, Letters Received, Temporary Correspondence 1949 to 1965, follows two ordering schemes: material dating from 1949 to 1952 is arranged alphabetically by correspondent or institution and material dating from 1953 to 1965 is arranged chronologically. Letters in this subseries appear to have been culled from two separate accumulations of correspondence (one maintained between 1949 and 1952; the other between 1953 and 1965), and unified as a sampling of the various types of requests that were received by the Bureau during this period.
The remaining eight subseries comprise the correspondence of specific individuals, institutions or organizations that worked directly or indirectly with the BAE. They are arranged chronologically and then, therein, alphabetically. The decision to isolate this correspondence from the larger, chronologically ordered unit of BAE correspondence (described above) is unknown. Also unknown is when the separation occurred; it may have occurred at the archival processing level or earlier at the BAE administrative level. It should be noted that the separation process was not comprehensive and, thus, BAE correspondence with these individuals, institutions and organizations may also be found elsewhere in the series.

Teasing Master Takagi-San 2
AKA: N/A
Genre: Video game-based fantasy adventure
Length: Television series, 13 episodes, 23 minutes each
Content Rating: 13+ (violence, brief nudity, fan service)
Related Series: N/A
Also Recommended: Rune Soldier, Sorcerer Hunters, Tenchi Muyo
Notes: This series takes place during the course of events in the video role-playing game Tales of Eternia, known in the US as Tales of Destiny 2.
Tales of Eternia: The Animation
Celestia and Inferia, two worlds that face each other (so that each world seems to be the sky of the other) are under the threat of imminent collision, a cataclysm known as the Grand Fall. Much to the chagrin of the protagonist of this tale, the leaders of Inferia decide to wage war upon Celestia. The heroes try to find another way to avert disaster. In the meantime, their adventures strand them on a tropical paradise, but in even the most beautiful places, deadly secrets lurk not far away.
So laidback swordsman Rid, his childhood acquaintance Farah, the bookish mage Keel, and the mysterious, but cute Celestian girl Melody must find a way to continue their quest while getting probably the best suntans of their lives.
First off, I should state that I originally saw this off a Hong Kong DVD, which is quite the mixed blessing. While I appreciated the clarity of the animation and the voice tracks, the subtitles were obviously not written by a native speaker of English. For example, Celestia and Inferia were translated as Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia (!) and, worse off, the names of Efreet and Sylph were corrupted into Evelyn Smith. (Not to mention all the character names, which were largely disregarded by those present at this viewing.)
But bad subtitling couldn't hide the quality of this series, and we can trust a professional release to do this far better justice. Though the characters in Tales of Eternia are fairly archetypal, they remain interesting and charming throughout the production, with nice character design, good interaction between the leads, and a lot of cute girls. (Look in particular for Hayashibara Megumi in a non-squeaky role as Maronne, and Horie Yui as the klutzy, cute, wannabe minstrel Corrina.) The acting is, while not spectacular, quite competent, which is a good thing because there isn't a whole lot of action to be had in this series.
Wait a second. A fantasy adventure without a whole lot of action? Well, there are a few action scenes (at least once an episode), which are for the most part capably handled (with named attack moves, and "Crystal Spirits" which facilitate elemental magic spells - and even tips on which spells to use!), but since for the most part the cast is marooned on a tropical island, there isn't a whole lot of exploring or monster mmashing to do. High-powered moves take a back seat to character interaction, and while the development of the plot seems only the enhance the archetypal nature of the characters, it's still done effectively and a nice change of pace from series like Bastard.
Of course, a lot of people might not exactly care about the whole adventuring bit, as the concept of a gaggle of cute girls on a tropical island means lots of scenes where the girls are less than fully clothed. There's even a full-body shower scene in one episode (which is a bit of a surprise for a TV series). Nothing actually out of line, but plenty of swimsuits and bath scenes nonetheless. (And naturally, constant competition for who gets to call the male lead her boyfriend.)
Of course, when you get to the actual plot (which does eventually kick in), it's occasionally (and thankfully) clever and innovative, and it's helped immensely by the glossy, colorful, and generally pretty animation, which only rarely goes into the territory of stock or degraded footage. Even the seemingly filler episodes advance the story in subtle ways, and while we could've done without a couple of the cliches in here, it's forgivable. And while the background music isn't buy-this-soundtrack-now good, the opening and ending tracks are very nicely done.
Being as short as it is, Tales of Eternia is unlikely to be a magnum opus of fantasy anime. But it's pretty, cute, and has a good sense of humor, which is definitely enough for the dedicated fantasy anime viewer. Enjoy!
A solid series that is consistently entertaining, gently funny, and very cute. Those who aren't big fans of fantasy with lots of pretty anime girls may remove one star. — Carlos Ross
Recommended Audience: Some violence, and some characters/redshirts do die, but it's bloodless and off-screen. There is one scene of full dorsal nudity, and plenty of fan service, though it's more restrained than, say, Idol Project. Nothing truly offensive for teens or over, though.

The footwear brand ties up with Jeremy Scott on eight styles for fall 2017.
The eight limited-edition styles will retail from $90 to $1,195 at select global retailers and at five North American retailers: Just One Eye, IntermixOnline.com, Serenella, Chuckies and David Lawrence.
Cut to Scott's Australian assistant contacting the company, only to find out that they already wanted to work with him.
"I've always admired Jeremy; I think he does something special and different when fashion can be so serious," O'Donnell said.
The styles Scott created range from the subtle to the over-the-top, including the Classic brown tall boots embroidered with "Ugg" on one and "Life" on the other in an Old English font; another pair embellished with Scott's signature hot rod flames; and black ones encrusted with crystals and beads in a floral motif.


Ireland native and newly minted Houston restaurateur Ian Tucker has laid the groundwork for his next Bayou City concept in the form of Poitín (pronounced "putt-cheen"), a full-service restaurant and cocktail bar that's slated to become the anchor tenant at Sawyer Yards.
Tucker's bar concepts in Ireland have been nationally recognized for boasting the best cocktail experiences in the country, and Poitín promises to deliver to Houston Tucker's unique brand of cuisine and cocktails, all set in an inviting atmosphere.
But there's a twist to this tale: A percentage of the restaurant's funding will be raised through the crowdfunding platform NextSeed, which allows anyone to invest in small businesses. To date, 22 businesses nationwide have been successfully funded on NextSeed's Texas and national platforms.
Construction on Poitín is set to kick off next month, and the space is planned to launch in early 2018.
NextSeed provides an alternative to savings accounts and buying stocks; for the first time, opportunities exist for anyone to invest in local, growing businesses with as little as $100. Currently, Poitín is one of several live campaigns on NextSeed, which means anyone can choose to become an investor.
Popular local restaurant group Peli Peli had a resounding success on NextSeed's platform in May 2016, raising $358,000 under Texas regulations. In just 11 months, the team paid their investors back — well ahead of schedule — returning $409,513 to the members who invested.
The team now has an active expansion campaign on the platform to launch their Austin location. Peli Peli founding partners Michael Tran, Thomas Nguyen, and Paul Friedman (who is also the executive chef) first opened the Vintage Park location eight years ago, and have since expanded to several new locations with different concepts.
Being that both Tran (BS '99) and Nguyen (BA '98, JD '01) call the University of Texas at Austin their alma mater, it made sense that when it came time to expand beyond their home in Houston, they would be headed to the ATX.
Peli Peli Austin will take over a second-generation restaurant space in the 2nd Street District in Austin's historic downtown area, with plans to open its doors in September of 2017.
Since its launch in mid-2015, NextSeed has facilitated over $4 million in investments in restaurants, bars, and various local businesses both in Texas and nationally using state and federal crowdfunding regulations. Thousands of investors wanting to catch the new wave of supporting local economic growth and development are now registered and investing on the platform.
On NextSeed, the investor can find an overview of each campaign, a detailed description of the business model and leadership team, market analysis, all of the investment details, and the opportunity to ask questions in a virtual community forum.
For more information on active and fully funded campaigns nationwide, visit NextSeed.

Теорема  —  —  — це результат у комбінаториці блок-схем. Теорема стверджує, що якщо (v, b, r, k, λ)-схема існує з v = b (симетична блок-схема), то:

 якщо v парне, то k − λ є квадратом;
 якщо v непарне, то таке діофантове рівняння має нетривіальний розв'язок:
 .

Теорему довели для випадку проєктивних площин Брук та Райзер. На симетричні схеми теорему розширили Райзер та Човла.

Проєктивні площини
В частковому випадку симетричних схем з , тобто проєктивних площин, теорему (відому в цьому разі як теорема Брука — Райзера) можна сформулювати так: якщо скінченна проєктивна площина порядку q існує і q порівнянне з 1 чи 2 (mod 4), то q має бути сумою двох квадратів. Зауважимо, що для проєктивної площини для параметрів схеми виконується . Отже, в такому разі v завжди непарне.

Теорема, наприклад, виключає існування проєктивних площин порядків 6 і 14, але дозволяє існування площин порядків 10 і 12. Оскільки за допомогою комбінації теорії кодування з великомасштабним комп'ютерним пошуком показано, що проєктивної площини порядку 10 не існує, умови теореми очевидно не достатньо для існування схеми. Проте критерій неіснування не відомий.

Зв'язок із матрицями інцидентності
Існування симетричної (v, b, r, k, λ)-схеми еквівалентне існуванню v × v матриці інцидентності R з елементами 0 і 1, що задовольняє умові

 ,

де E є v × v одиничною матицею, а J — v × v матрицею, в якій усі елементи дорівнюють 1. По суті, теорема Брука — Райзера — Човли є твердженням про необхідні умови існування раціональної v × v матриці R, яка задовольняє цьому рівнянню. Фактично, умови, закладені в теоремі Брука — Райзера — Човли, є не просто необхідними, а й достатні для існування таких раціональних матриць R. Їх можна вивести з  про раціональну еквівалентність квадратичних форм.

History and visit the Rue Cunin-Gridaine in Paris
Cunin-street is a public thoroughfare Gridaine the 3rd arrondissement of Paris in the area of Arts and Crafts. The name of this street was made by decree dated 10 August 1868. Street Cunin-Gridaine measures 56 meters and has a width of about 10 meters. The famous sinister scale of Saint-Martin-des-Champs was the meeting point of the street and the street Turbigo.
Part of the former Mayor Street was absorbed by the street-Gridaine Cunin. The street takes its name from the famous manufacturing and trade minister Laurent Cunin French-Gridaine. This eminent politician was also known as the owner of a large factory sheets in the town of Sedan in the Ardennes. Street Cunin-Gridaine served around the church of Saint-Nicolas-des-Champs became a parish in the 12th century.
A strange house with a beautiful cornice feuillagée is located near the gate Henri II, remains a point of interest on the outstanding street-Gridaine Cunin. This very old house had formerly wood became the property of Prince Radziwill. The house communicates with the church of Saint-Nicolas-des-Champs through a window. Street Cunin-Gridaine itself ends at 252 rue Saint-Martin.
Currently, street-Cunin Gridaine air displays quieter and less hectic than before. Tourists who go to meet the historical wonders like majestic church of Saint-Nicolas-des-Champs were immediately captivated by the beauty of the silent streets and buildings small but picturesque border it. Moreover, modern hotels are not far Cunin-street Gridaine and it is what makes this street is always busy in all seasons.
Transfer to the street-Cunin Gridaine in Paris
Street Cunin-Gridaine is 19.2 km from Orly airport, 26.3 km from Charles de Gaulle Airport and 86.8 km from Paris Beauvais airport.
